My grandfather has been smoking since he was a young teenager, and now he has a terrible 35 which makes it hard for him to breathe. Two weeks ago, he had an operation. The doctors thought that his days were numbered, but 36 he got better. He was taken off the machine that helped him breathe, but still he couldn't talk.37 my grandfather was in hospital, my mother and I flew to Pittsburgh to be with him. We were very 38 that we wouldn't see him again.When we reached my grandfather's hospital room, I was surprised by his 39 . He looked so weak. He was hardly able to even speak. Somehow though, he managed to say, "I …you.""You what, Grandpa?" I asked. He didn't have the 40 to answer me. He had used up all strength with those two words, "I …you."The next morning my mother and I had to leave. I kept wondering just what he had tried so hard to tell 41 . It wasn't until I was back home in Georgia that I learned what he had tried to say.A week after we returned home, my family received a phone call 42 one of the nurses in the hospital. She told us that my grandfather had said, "Call my granddaughter and tell her 'love.'" At first I didn't understand why he would just say, "love." Why not "I love you?" Then it 43 me. The day we were in the hospital he had been trying to say, "I love you." I was really touched.After many weeks, my grandfather was finally able to 44 . I began to call him every night. Normally he had to stop after about five minutes because he was too weak. No matter what, though, every time we 45 he would say, "I love you" and 'I'd do anything for you." These, along with his moving words, "You're the only reason I live," are the best compliments（赞美）I have ever received.My grandfather is still very ill and I know we don't have much time. I feel very honored that he has 46 his feelings with me. I have learnt a lot from this experience. But the most important thing I've learned is that a simple "I love you" is really not simple. It's a reason for living.35. A. temper B. disease C. dream D. feeling36. A. unexpectedly B. unluckily C. hurriedly D. interestingly37. A. While B. Before C. Though D. If38.

No card came with it．Calls to the flower shops were not helpful at all. After a while Istopped trying to discover the sender's name and was just very pleased with the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper.But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be, Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged this imagining. She'd ask me if there was someone for whom I had done a special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man who I looked after when he was ill. As a girl, I had more fun im agining that it might be a boy.One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt very sad and didn't want to go to the coming graduation dance at all. And I didn't care whether I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia-lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery.My mother died ten days after l was married. I was22.

However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should realize that sport you choose might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also lots of water. Besides, huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses （球场）in good condition. This causes major environmental changes. For example, in the dry places of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for (为...承担责任）serious water shortage(短缺) in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes, and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also help you stay healthy. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and keep thin.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener than by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms." They are better replacements(替代) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership(会员身份)．And best of all, it's free.4.

In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker(面包师)in Pudding Lane, The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery(房)into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifiy churches, among them new St Paul's. The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.8. The fire began in_______.A. a hotel.B. the palace.C. Pudding Lane.D. Thames Street.9. The underlined word "family" in the second paragraph means_______.A. home.B. children.C. wife and husband.D. wife and children.10. It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that ________.A. some people lost their lives.B. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire.C. many famous buildings were destroyed.D. the King's bakery was burned down.11. Why did the writer cite(引用) Samuel Pepys?A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.C. To show that poor people suffered most.D. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.12. How was the fire put out according to the text?A. The king and his soldiers came to help.B. All the wooden houses in the city were destroyed.C. People managed to get enough water from the river.D. Houses standing in the direction of the fire were pulled down.D“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation（回声）. It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side.We were both in great anger. “Never set foot in this house again!” shouted father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly（无目的地）.A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now … I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on.I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?”In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. Maybe he didn’t k now how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up the quilt（盖被子）in my sleep. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. “Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe … As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist（存在）at all. Love—it second to none.13. What made the writer think of his childhood?A. The street lights.B.

The underlined sentence suggests that ________.A. father never showed any moments of regretB. father didn’t know how to express himselfC. the argument passed quicklyD. it was nothing in fact16. It can be inferred（推断）from the text that ________.A. the father treats his son in an unfair wayB. the father is actually kind to his sonC. the father is neither kind nor cruel（凶残的）to his sonD. the father is always finding mistakes with his sonESaying no starts small“ All right then---just one more piece…” Words every girl has said when they are faced with the delicious cheesecake. Of course, many of us know we may eat the whole thing in the end.It isn’t just girls. Most of us find it hard to say “no” to something attractive(有吸引力的). However, scientists now say that willpower(意志力) is very important to success and a happy life.Scientists in different countries have been studying the effects of willpower on people’s lives for a long time. The results are similar, according to an article on February 7 in the Guardian, a famous British newspaper.In one experiment, scientists told young children that they could either have a marshmallow (软糖) now, or two marshmallows in 15 minutes. Waiting obviously needed more willpower. Scientists then continued studying the children as they grew up. They wanted to see if some children always had stronger willpower. They also wanted to see how having stronger willpower affected their lives.Years later, scientists found that the children who had waited for two marshmallows were all healthier , happier and richer adults. Oppositely, the children who had shown weaker willpower at that young age were more likely to be in low-paid jobs, to be overweight, to have social problems.But there is hope, Roy F Baumeister, an American social psychology(心理学) professor(教授) told the Guardian. Baumeister says we can train our willpower just like we train ourmuscles(肌肉). Even a little practice can strengthen our overall self-control if we do it regularly.You could start by making yourself stand up straight, speaking in complete sentences, or using a computer mouse with the other hand. Scientists have found that people who manage to change little habits often perform much better in laboratory willpower tests.Like muscles, willpow er can “get tired”. Don’t try to do too many things at the same time, or when you don’t have enough energy, for example when you are ill. If you already feel tired, you can try to rechange(恢复) your willpower with a good night’s sleep and by eating well.17. The example of a girl eating cheesecake is used to ________________.A. prove that girls have weak willpowerB. introduce the topic of willpower to the readersC. show that cheesecake is especially attractive to girlsD. show the connection between willpower and success18. What can we infer(推断) from the experiment?A. The scientists had already known the results before the experiment.B. It showed that willpower is the most important to success and a happy life.C. The children who chose to wait were more likely to be successful in their lives.D. The children who chose only one marshmallow at first had stronger willpower.19. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the training of willpower?A. You should have a goal every day.B. Good rest and proper diet can help.C. Willpower needs to be exercised regularly.D. Keep willpower from being used too much.20. What is the article mainly about?A. How willpower and muscles are similar and how they can be trained.B. How willpower affects people’s lives and how it is similar to muscles.C. How willpower is important to success and how we can make it stronger.D. How willpower is connected with success and how they affect each other.作文：假如今天是10月11日，星期六，父母去上海出差，你一个人在家。
